Smith was barred from discussing any nonpublic parts of his classified documents probe by Judge Cannon's order prohibiting DOJ from divulging any nonpublic info about it.

Smith says Trump's claims that he won the election were not protected free speech because they were intneded to target a government function. "There is no historical analog for what President Trump did in this case."
